Abstract
Real-Time Locating Systems (RTLS) have emerged as powerful tools for revolutionizing healthcare by improving patient safety, optimizing workflow efficiency, and enhancing resource management. From patient tracking to infection control and emergency response, RTLS offer a plethora of applications. Although challenges such as privacy and integration need to be addressed, the benefits of RTLS in healthcare remain undeniable. As technology continues to evolve, the future holds exciting possibilities for RTLS, paving the way for smarter, more efficient, and patient-centered care.
